The Wizard Ratings & Reviews
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024While this movie seems universally reviled, I actually do find it sweet. It hooked me, and I liked the Mario 3 footage.
- SpanktacularDecember 19, 2025Nintendo presents: Rainman. A great bad movie that showcases the style of early 90s video game commercials and has a b-plot about a creepy detective who hunts children extrajudiciously, and actively sabotages another man who is looking for his runaway child? Pure nostalgia for that era, if you've ever wanted a trip down memory lane. Pairs well with the live action Mario Bros movie.
- tellumAugust 19, 2025I would’ve crushed that kid at every game and the dude with that stupid power glove too.
- hutchiw1July 6, 2025A wonderfully nostalgic movie.
- mickerdooNovember 2, 2025Made up of two seemingly unrelated stories but still fast enough to be a fun watch. Savage and Lewis were good together. Destroy Putnam.
- wonderrxjrOctober 19, 2025Actually the world's longest ad for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It's a fun story, but some things felt so weird and I feel it's too busy promoting the NES and its games that it doesn't give itself time to breathe. The ending just being a full blown trailer basically for Mario 3 is just insane to me but that's a world without YouTube I guess. Also didn't really like the depiction of a clearly autistic child as something that needs to be institutionalized
- theLillyPadApril 23, 2025Is it a glorified commercial? Yes. But its a fun commercial. Brimming with Nostalgia for a better age. But you didn't come for that, did you? You came for Mario 3. And you'll get it.
